Discussion Topic: Obesity – What is Going On Here??? Here is a video on childhood obesity! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC3BNPZQtk8  This week, we make the transition from adolescence into adulthood. As adults we are responsible for our own decisions. We choose many behaviors that either enhance or harm our health. This week the focus for our discussion will be on obesity – a problem that is plaguing our nation’s children, adolescents and adults. Before participating in the discussion read the following current article about obesity in the US. The World Is Fat By CATHERINE RAMPELL Until 1980, fewer than one in 10 people in industrialized countries like the United States were obese. Today, these rates have doubled or tripled. In almost half of developed countries, one out of every two people is overweight or obese. These populations are expected to get even heavier in the near future, and in some countries two out of three people are projected to be obese within 10 years. Those are some of the disturbing statistics from a new report released today by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a research and membership organization that focuses on the world’s richest nations. As you can see, in rates of overweight and obese residents, the United States is second to only one industrialized country: Mexico. In America, 28 percent of the adult population is obese and 68 percent is overweight; in Mexico, the respective rates are 30 percent and 70 percent. The United States does, however, hold the dubious honor of fattest population of children, tied with Scotland. (Note that the rates for children are not exactly comparable, though, as different countries report obesity and overweight rates for different age ranges of children). If you would like to read more you can check out the full report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development at http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/23/the-world-is-fat/ When talking about obesity many will say that obesity is primarily genetic and the majority of those who obese cannot help it. However others argue that if the high levels of obesity were primarily caused by genetics then this should be a problem that has always existed. Yet as stated in the above article just 30 years ago there was a much smaller percentage of people who were obese. Discussion Question: What is your perspective on the cause of obesity for the large majority of those who are facing this problem? Whether you believe that the primary cause of obesity is genetics or lifestyle what has happened in our society since 1980 that has resulted in doubled or tripled rates of obesity in adults and children? What can be done in your own community to turn the obesity trend around? What kind of program might you create in this effort to bring health back to our society? What advice would you give to a friend coping with a weight issue to help them bring about long term change? Note: Remember to cite a source in your primary post. Also refer to the Psychology Discussion Requirements listed under Getting Started.

Scenario You are working in a large urban pediatric clinic after-hours. A mother brings her 6-month-old daughter, Vivi Mitchell, to the clinic for rhinorrhea, congestion, fever, and cough. Upon assessment, you identify the child has wheezing upon auscultation and on inspection, you identify retractions. The child is in less than 10th percentile of weight and has a cardiac history of Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). Born at 36 weeks gestation. Mother states this child doesn’t go to day care but her two other children ages 2 and 3 do attend daycare. T- 102.1 HR 140 RR 40 BP 83/58 Pulse ox 96% A swab for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is positive. Doctor orders – Nasal bulb suction and saline drops PRN, Tylenol 15mg/kg Q4 PRN for fever, Albuterol nebulizer in office and push po fluids as tolerated. After the albuterol neb treatment, respirations are 36 and oxygen saturation is 100%. Wheezing has diminished. Mom is an ER nurse and the doctor feels comfortable that she has a nebulizer at home and can return to pediatric afterhours or ER if needed. Client is discharged with these orders: methylprednisolone 0.4 mg/kg oral BID for 3 Albuterol Q4 hours for 24 hours, then Q 6 hours for 24 hours, and Q6 as needed. Call if needed prior to the Q4 dose. Manage fever with Tylenol and continue hydration and nasal bulb suction Q6 while awake. Return for re-evaluation in 3 days Instructions In a two to three-page APA formatted paper, provide reponses for these questions and requests for information: Criteria: Describe the pathophysiology of bronchiolitis and identify the most common organism causing this infection. What laboratory testing can confirm your suspicion? Describe the pathophysiology of PDA and why the history of PDA is significant in this scenario. What risk factors place Vivi Mitchell at a greater risk for the development of bronchiolitis? What are the characteristic signs/symptoms of bronchiolitis? Vivi Mitchell been prescribed the following medications; acetaminophen, albuterol nebulizer, corticosteroids. Provide the rationale for why each medication has been included as part of her medical management and explain any potential contraindications related to these medications. You are designing Vivi Mitchell’s plan of care. Identify two priority nursing diagnoses to include in your plan. For each nursing diagnosis, identify two SMART goals, and two interventions for each goal. What short and long-term possible complications should the nurse anticipate? What client education is appropriate for Vivi Mitchell as she is discharged from the after-care clinic? * Include a minimum of 2 scholarly sources Format Standard American English (correct grammar, punctuation, etc.) Logical, original and insightful Professional organization, style, and mechanics in APA format Submit document through Grammarly to correct errors before submission
